I'm trying to create a dashboard for customers that shows ESXi hosts that are down, were restarted recently (let's say 24h) and VMs that were restarted by HA (24h). Is there a way to create such a dashboard? I'm currently even struggling with creating a dashboard that shows ESXi hosts (with names) that are currently down (I tried Object Status Overview and Top Issues widgets). In the end this should be kind of a live dashboard presented to customers, not a report.
Would be nice to have at least the names of the hosts somewhere.
Unfortunately, there are no widgets for your use cases.
If it is applicable, I'd rather use a thick client instead. It is possible to create something like that for ESXi down hosts, using a business view categorization:
At the same time, the latest alarm list below will show connection-related alarm history. A similar grouping is available for VMs.
This would work but for me it shows also old information about already resolved issues. But this might be a failure on my end as we did not use VeeamOne for more than basic reporting in the past. I acked or in this case resolved all current alarms for the host in line 3.
What I need it a live dashboard only with active host failures.
Hello,
Confirmed with QA that the widget I proposed needs improvements, like omit the resolved alarms. Currently keeps them there, making the widget not as usable as desired.
There are a few ways to extract this info on JSON, or from PowerShell, and you can put it somewhere else, simple HTML, Grafana, etc. Let me know if you are interested in that, not supported of course.
Thank you
